Pet care experience

Dog mom of 2 sweet fur babies

I’ve taken care of cats since I was 5 years old when I got my first kitten, and dogs since I was 9 years old when I got my first puppy. I now have two dogs on my own and regularly volunteer at the local animal shelter. I’ve had one of my dogs since he was 5 weeks old (he is a Husky/GSD) and that taught me a lot about puppy care and training! I have puppy/kitten knowledge/experience, puppy training experience, senior dog experience, medication administration experience, and most importantly I have a great love for dogs (and all pets)! I’ve watched and taken care of friends’ dogs/pets on multiple occasions (including a lizard!) and treat them like my own. I also am a regular volunteer at a local pet shelter and care for/walk the dogs that are in the shelter currently and I love it. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment

Both of my dogs are indoor dogs so during the work day they are usually napping in my “office” space while I work. We go outside every few hours for potty breaks and they are fed twice a day, and treats are given every time we go outside as a reward for being well house-trained! When I take care of friends’ dogs I treat them like my own! And I make sure to follow instructions to stay on their schedule (with food/walks/etc.).

Kristen was unbelievably kind and professional! She was extremely prompt with all scheduled visits and gave my husband and I so much reassurance while we were away. Not to mention she went above and beyond and was extremely communicative. I would HIGHLY recommend Kristen for any dog sitting needs! 🥰

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to tend to my dogs and give them the care and attention they need on a daily basis. I only work weekdays so I spend weekends taking my dogs on short road trips, hiking adventures, and Starbucks pup cup stops. Oh, and lots of treats and naps of course!

Let me know if your dog/cat needs any medications administered during my visit, if they (dogs) are allowed treats after walks, and their feeding times so I can stick to their routine as much as possible!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
